CBD is obtained from hemp plants that have been bred to contain no more than 0.3% of the psychoactive compound, THC. Recently, certain studies have shown evidence of supplemental benefits provided by CBD. However, there can be complications when taken with certain medication or in high doses. It is important to consult with your doctor when this is the case.

 The major safety issue in CBD is that, it is sold as a supplement and the FDA does not regulate the purity and safety of dietary supplements. As such, customers and the general public alike, cannot absolutely verify conformity between reported product content and labeling. But you are in luck ! Chow420's Know What You Buy program was specifically designed to deal with this issue. With our blockchain-powered system, verified lab tests can be accessed for every listed product. Products that do not meet requirements are not allowed to go on sale.

CBD comes in various mediums which can help facilitate the intended effect. Forms include oils, vapes, flower, topicals, capsules and edibles. These can be of various extracts depedning on the THC content. Full spectrum extracts include THC alongside cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds. While broad spectrum follows the same profile, but without the THC content. Isolate extracts are composed mainly of CBD and little of anything else.

The form of CBD dictates the method of consumption. Topicals can be applied directly to the skin transdermally for direct absorbtion into the bloodstream. Oils and tinctures are consumed orally and sublingually(under the tongue) for much the same effect. However, edibles and any other consumables that pass through the digestrive tract before entry into the bloodstream would mean more time before effects can be felt.

CBD use should be calibrated against the intended effect and situation. Consult product description for more guidance.

The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp legal by removing it from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. Hemp is now seen as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with less than 0.3% of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis.

CBD relates with the body in a number of ways to produce various effects. Specifically with our endocannabinoid system. The most relevant action takes place at two neuroreceptors; the serotonin receptor, 5-HT1A and the TRPV1 receptor. The 5-HT1A is important for the regulation of various processes that range from metabolism to mood. TRPV1 is involved in the modulation of pain, inflammation and epilepsy.

Pure Hemp CBD (cannabidiol) has been found to not react with either of the two commercially available tests used to screen for marijuana use. The reason is that hemp CBD is derived from the hemp plant which contains minimal THC (below 0.3% on a dry weight basis). However, CBN was found to react with one of the tests. CBN which is imporant for sleep assistance is a THC derivative. It is important to be transparent about use of cannabis products when going for such tests. This gives contexts to the results and can help clear out any issues.

The endocannabinoid system pervades our entire nervous system. Both central (CB1) and peripheral (CB2). It is made up of endogenous lipid-based neurotransmitters, cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins. It is involved of the overall maintenance of an individual's biological system, modulating functions associated with immunity, cardiovascular health and reproduction. As such the functioning of the endocannabinoid is connected to sleep, anti-inflammation action, focus, metabolism and bone strength amongst others.

Evidence gleaned from recent research shows that CBD can be useful for dealing with pain and inflammation, anxiety and mental focus. There are reports from the general public about the utitlity of CBD as an everyday supplement and as a tool in tackling the aforementioned problems demonstrated by research. 

Tinctures are similar to oils and constitute a format in which cbd is delivered. Tinctures are taken sub-lingually and have droppers that can facilitate this. That means that they are applied under the tongue. Hence, tinctures have two channels to get into the body. One is through the digestive tract. The other is by absorption through the membranes under the tongue.

There is evidence to suggest the utility of CBD in helping with issues as diverse as fibromyalgia pain, anti-inflammation action, sleep health & assistance, as well as , anxiety and skincare. In amny places, CBD is also touted as a supplemental resource for general wellness. It is gradually becoming clear that CBD is beneficial to our well-being.

This refers to the process that converts the acidic structure of raw cannabis into a neutral, non-acidic form. THCA and CBDA are "decarbed" into THC and CBD.  Decarboxylation is what yields THC that is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid agent. 

CBD creates anti-inflammatory effects by interacting with receptors in the endocannabinoid systems of individuals. These receptors receive chemical signals from various stimuli which are used to modulate the reactions of cells.
